Yet another compilation disc from Queensryche. This time the only difference is the much welcomed disc of rarities and one new track “Justified”. Does this warrant a new BEST OF?

For fans of the band a new BEST OF is not needed but in this case we will buy it because of disc 2. This would have been allot better release had it just been a single disc issue of the 2nd disc of rarities and one new track. For the casual fan or someone who owns no Queensryche in their collection then this is the ultimate starting point for them as the first disc showcases some of their greatest songs and gives a good overall view of their catalog. There is something for all here as CD1 has tracks from each disc including “Queen of The Reich” from the EP right up to MINDCRIME II.

The new track “Justified” featuring original guitarist Chris DeGarmo makes this package an essential purchase for any and all Queensryche fans. As you would expect the packaging and sound quality is fantastic but a release like this should show the band throughout the years instead of just “Art”. This is only minor as the music is what matters and this release is chock full of great music.
